Queen Victoria's sketchbook

1979, British hardcover edition, Macmillan, London. 224 pages. Queen Victoria drew and painted. This volume is entirely illustrated with the Queen's own work. These are not just so-so pictorials; they reveal a woman of great accomplishment, some watercolors and b&w sketches that draw and hold the reader's attention. This is a lovely title, which shows the country, the places the Queen spent her life, a time of great adventure and private, calm moments. A 3-page introduction sets in place what follows. Very nicely done. A pleasant visual surprise.
